`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO WITHDRAW ORAL HEARING REQUESTS
`
`
`
`1 An identical paper has also been filed in the following proceedings:
`
`
`CBM2014-00131 (Patent 7,533,056)
`CBM2014-00133 (Patent 7,676,411)
`CBM2014-00135 (Patent 6,772,132)

`CBM2014-00133 (Patent 7,676,411)
`CBM2014-00135 (Patent 6,772,132)
`CBM2014-00137 (Patent 7,685,055)
`
`
`Petitioner TD (“TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, TD Ameritrade, Inc.,
`
`and TD Ameritrade Online Holdings Corp.”) and Patent Owner Trading
`
`Technologies International, Inc. (“TT”) previously requested oral hearing in:
`
` CBM2014-00131 (requested in Papers 53 and 54; ordered in Paper 57);
`
` CBM2014-00133 (requested in Papers 46 and 47; ordered in Paper 50);
`
` CBM2014-00135 (requested in Papers 46 and 47; ordered in Paper 50);
`
`and
`
` CBM2014-00137 (requested in Papers 56 and 57; ordered in Paper 60).
`
`During a telephone conference on June 30, 2015 regarding the parties’
`
`agreement to settle their dispute, the Board suggested that the parties could jointly
`
`withdraw their oral hearing requests when filing their joint motions to terminate
`
`the proceedings in view of the settlement. The parties have now finalized a
`
`confidential written Settlement Agreement that resolves all disputes between the
`
`parties, including these proceedings. The parties are simultaneously moving to
`
`terminate all of the above-referenced CBM proceedings completely, and are filing
`
`a copy of the Agreement as Exhibit 2300 along with a request to treat it as
`
`Confidential Business Information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). Based on the
`
`Board’s suggestion, the parties hereby also move to withdraw their oral hearing
`
`requests in each of the above-referenced CBM proceedings in light of the motions
`
`
`
`
`
`
`CBM2014-00131 (Patent 7,533,056)
`CBM2014-00133 (Patent 7,676,411)
`CBM2014-00135 (Patent 6,772,132)
`CBM2014-00137 (Patent 7,685,055)
`
`
`to terminate.
`
`To the extent that all of the proceedings are not terminated as requested, the
`
`parties will jointly renew their requests for oral hearing. While the parties
`
`appreciate that argument dates are scarce, the parties hope that if any proceedings
`
`are not terminated pursuant to the settlement, an oral argument could be scheduled
`
`within the statutory deadline of December 2, 2015 for the final written decision.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
